A member asked:

I think i have shingles. i have blisters on my chest my arms my legs that are very painful?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Bruce Jacobs answered

Shingles only: affects 1 side of the body, in a discrete patch. So if both arms and legs are involved and the chest too,it is not shingles.
